Written and Performed by Norman Greenbaum Courtesy of Trans/Tone Productions Made Me Want To Study The Real Apollo 13 Astronauts 17 February 2008 | by ccthemovieman-1 (United States) – See all my reviews This was a very well-done true story of a space mission that came extremely close to being a disaster, but the astronauts miraculously made it home safely. Except for some language problems, it's good storytelling and so interesting that it made me want to study the real Apollo 13 astronauts. The movie is fairly long at 140 minutes and there is not much "action" but there is a lot of suspense and first-rating acting, both of which should keep anyone's interest. Knowing this was a true story makes one all the more involved with it. You can usually count of Director Ron Howard putting out an interesting and well-photographed film.

What also was interesting to me, too, was to see these actors, most of whom usually play volatile characters- or did prior to this film - act in such low-key roles. I refer to Ed Harris, Gary Sinise, Bill Paxton and Kevin Bacon. By the way, one of the young Lovell children was played by Miko Hughes, who became a co- star in a film - "Mercury Rising" - several years later. For such a tense story, with these astronauts lives on the line, none of the astronauts or people at NASA or anyone's family members are ever seeing praying throughout this ordeal! You can bet, in real life, a lot of prayers were answered on this mission. Overall, this is good movie-making and recommended. 39 of 46 people found this review helpful.

Published on May 10, 2013 Apollo 13 is a 1995 American docudrama film directed by Ron Howard. The film stars Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, Kathleen Quinlan and Ed Harris. More on the film: The screenplay by William Broyles, Jr. and Al Reinert, that dramatizes the 1970 Apollo 13 lunar mission, is an adaptation of the book Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13 by astronaut Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger. The film depicts astronauts Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise aboard Apollo 13 for America's third Moon landing mission. En route, an on-board explosion deprives their spacecraft of most of its oxygen supply and electric power, forcing NASA's flight controllers to abort the Moon landing, and turning the mission into a struggle to get the three men home safely.

Howard went to great lengths to create a technically accurate movie, employing NASA's technical assistance in astronaut and flight controller training for his cast, and even obtaining permission to film scenes aboard a reduced gravity aircraft for realistic depiction of the "weightlessness" experienced by the astronauts in space. Released in the United States on June 30, 1995, Apollo 13 garnered critical acclaim and was nominated for many awards, with nine Academy Awards including Best Film Editing and Best Sound.[3] In total, the film grossed over $355 million worldwide during its theatrical releases. Cast: Tom Hanks as Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell. Jim Lovell stated that before the book was even written, the rights were being shopped to potential buyers[4] and that his first reaction was that actor Kevin Costner would be a good choice to play him.[5][6] However, by the time Howard acquired the director's position, Costner's name never came up in serious discussion, and Hanks had already been interested in doing a film based on Apollo 13.

Apollo 13: In space, no-one can see you exaggerate | Film | The Guardian Reel history Apollo 13: In space, no-one can see you exaggerate Ron Howard's take on the crew of the stricken Apollo 13's fight to get back to earth introduces chaos into Nasa's well-rehearsed damage control Getting his lines right ... in space! ... Tom Hanks in Apollo 13 (1995). Photograph: Kobal Thursday 17 April 2014 04.50 EDT First published on Thursday 17 April 2014 04.50 EDT Entertainment grade: B History grade: A– Apollo 13 was a 1970 moon landing mission mounted by Nasa's Apollo Space Program, which ran from 1961 until 1972. It ran into trouble after an oxygen tank exploded, leaving crucial systems damaged. Politics America's space program, a voiceover tells us, was "inspired by the late President Kennedy." John F. Kennedy's predecessor, Dwight D. Eisenhower, established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958.

In 1961, though, hunky Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. The Cold War was burning hot at that point, and there was no way the United States was going to sit back and let the Russkies take the moon. So, in May 1961, Kennedy challenged NASA to put a man on the moon before the end of the 1960s, and shoveled a few more billions of dollars their way to make it happen. Technology Fly boys ... Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon and Tom Hanks in Apollo 13. Photograph: Universal Sadly, Kennedy did not live to see Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969. The film shows astronaut Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) watching the great event, when Armstrong may or may not have fluffed his line (it should have been "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind" – which Armstrong insisted was what he said). Lovell is in line for Apollo 14. "Anything is possible!" he explains excitedly. "Like a computer that can fit into a single room!" Aww.

Omens Lovell is bumped up from Apollo 14 to 13, but his command module pilot, Ken Mattingly (Gary Sinise), is diagnosed with impending measles and replaced at the last minute by Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon). They prepare for launch along with lunar module pilot Fred Haise (Bill Paxton). Meanwhile, Lovell's wife has a nightmare in which her husband is sucked out of the capsule into space, and freaks out when her wedding ring slips off her finger and down a plughole. Dramatically convenient though these premonitions may seem, the real Jim Lovell has confirmed that they both really happened . Gravity One small step for (a) Tom Hanks. Photograph: Allstar/UNIVERSAL/Sportsphoto Ltd./Allstar The zero-gravity scenes in the movie are extremely convincing, because they're real. Director Ron Howard persuaded NASA to let him film on its reduced-gravity aircraft, known as the Vomit Comet . Appropriately enough, up in space, Haise pukes. Don't puke in space. It floats off everywhere in horrible little chunks. Then we are treated to Lovell's urination ritual.

"It's too bad we can't demonstrate this on TV," he says, bunging the stuff out of the disposal tube to make a golden shower in space. It's all fun, games, billions of taxpayer dollars and swirling bodily fluids until Swigert performs a routine stir of the oxygen tanks. There's a loud bang, and Lovell gets to utter the famous words: "Houston, we have a problem." Though, in real life, he said "Houston, we've had a problem ." Oh well, close enough. Does anybody get their lines right in space? Problems "We just lost the moon," Lowell says sadly. Swigert has noticed it's worse: "If this doesn't work, we're not going to have enough power left to get home." This column is not Reel Rocket Science, but the film seems to do a convincing job of explaining the technical faults – and most of the audience will appreciate that losing power, oxygen and bits of one's spaceship is not good news. The real Ken Mattingly outlined a few differences between the film and real life in a NASA oral history . His main point was that the film makes it look like "we invented a lot of stuff".

In reality it was less chaotic, for NASA had already simulated many of the faults which would occur on Apollo 13. In the film, his character is rewarded for nobly not going into space by nobly saving his stricken crewmembers from the control centre. In real life, the tasks Mattingly performs were down to a whole team, and they were operating more closely along the lines of existing procedures. Of course, to show all this accurately would have been much less dramatic. Verdict A well-researched adaptation of the Apollo 13 story makes for a pacy, compelling movie. Topics ‎Apollo 13 (1995) directed by Ron Howard • Reviews, film + cast • Letterboxd Review by TajLV ★★★★ "It's like trying to drive a toaster through a car wash." ~ Jack Swigert At its roots, this fascinating re-creation of the actual 1970 Apollo 13 mission to the moon is a coming-home story that features true heroes, a real life-or-death dilemma, and incredible resourcefulness.

It is told by director Ron Howard through the memories of Captain Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks), who commanded the ill-fated flight, showing us in considerable detail how NASA had to overcome almost insurmountable technical issues to return the imperiled crew safely to Earth. Playing fellow astronauts Fred Haise and Jim Swigert are Bill Paxton and Kevin Bacon, with Gary Sinise as back-up pilot Ken Mattingly and Ed Harris as mission control flight chief Gene Kranz.… 2 Although the plot is the same as every other non-science-fiction space film ever (many of which are probably inspired by this true story) — men go up in space, encounter a disastrous defect of some sort, must creatively “science the shit out of” their situation, before returning safely, though hectically, to Earth — Apollo 13 is as thrilling as a movie depicting real events can possibly be (notwithstanding that director Ron Howard probably twisted plenty of facts for the sake of creating entertaining tension). Despite its well over two-hour runtime, characters do not get much development; they are too cramped, literally and figuratively, by the intense linear story.

But that does mean that they do not work as characters; Tom… 7 "Houston, we have a problem". Those words were immortalized during the Apollo 13 lunar mission crisis of 1970.

These people made decisions, came up with solutions for catastrophic problems, and worked under very bleak circumstances all while 3 American lives hung in the balance.

Technical troubles scuttle the Apollo 13 lunar mission in 1971, risking the lives of astronaut Jim Lovell and his crew in director Ron Howard's chronicle of this true-life story, which turns a failed journey into a thrilling saga of heroism. Drifting more than 200,000 miles from Earth, the astronauts work furiously with the ground crew to avert tragedy. Houston we have a problem apollo 13 4 11 movie clip 1995 hd Plot On July 20, 1969, astronaut Jim Lovell hosts a party, where guests watch on television as Neil Armstrong takes his first steps on the Moon during Apollo 11. After the party, Lovell, who had orbited the Moon on Apollo 8, tells his wife Marilyn that he intends to walk on the Moons surface.

On October 30, 1969, as Lovell conducts a VIP tour of NASAs Vehicle Assembly Building, his boss Deke Slayton informs him that he and his crew will fly the Apollo 13 mission instead of Apollo 14. Lovell, Ken Mattingly, and Fred Haise train for their new mission. Days before launch, it is discovered that Mattingly was exposed to measles, and the flight surgeon demands his replacement with Mattinglys backup, Jack Swigert, as a safety precaution. Lovell initially resists breaking up his team, but relents when Slayton threatens to relieve him of his command. As the launch date approaches, Marilyns fears for her husbands safety manifest in nightmares, but she goes to Cape Kennedy the night before launch to see him off despite her misgivings. On April 11 1970, Apollo 13 Flight Director Gene Kranz gives the go-ahead from Houstons Mission Control Center for launch. As the Saturn V rocket climbs into the sky, an engine on the second stage cuts off prematurely, but the craft reaches Earth orbit.

After the third stage fires, sending Apollo 13 on a trajectory to the Moon, Swigert docks the Command/Service Module Odyssey with the Lunar Module Aquarius and pulls it away from the spent stage. Three days into the mission, the crew sends a live television transmission from Odyssey, but the networks decline to carry the broadcast live. When Swigert performs a standard housekeeping procedure, one of two liquid oxygen tank explodes, emptying its contents into space and sending the craft tumbling. The other tank is soon found to be leaking. Mission Control aborts the Moon landing, Lovell and Haise hurriedly power up Aquarius as a "lifeboat" for the return home, and Swigert shuts down Odyssey before its battery power runs out. In Houston, Kranz rallies his team and declares "failure is not an option". Controller John Aaron recruits Mattingly to help restart Odyssey for the final return. As Swigert and Haise watch the Moon pass beneath them, Lovell laments his lost chance of walking on its surface, then turns their attention to the task of getting home. With Aquarius running on minimum systems to conserve power, the crew suffers freezing conditions.

Swigert suspects Mission Control is unable to get them home and is withholding this from them. In a fit of rage, Haise blames Swigerts inexperience for the accident; Lovell quickly squelches the ensuing argument. When carbon dioxide approaches dangerous levels, an engineering team quickly invents a way to make the Command Modules square filters work in the Lunar Modules round receptacles. With the guidance systems on Aquarius shut down, and despite Haises fever and the miserable living conditions, the crew succeeds in making a difficult but vital course correction by manually igniting the Lunar Modules engine. Mattingly and Aaron struggle to find a way to power up the Command Module with its limited available power, but finally succeed and transmit the procedures to Swigert, who restarts Odyssey by transmitting extra power from Aquarius. Jettisoning the Service Module, the crew finally see the extent of the damage. They prepare for re-entry, unsure whether Odyssey???s heat shield is intact. (If it is not, they will incinerate.) They release Aquarius and re-enter the Earths atmosphere in Odyssey. After a tense, longer-than-normal period of radio silence due to ionization blackout, the astronauts report all is well and splash down in the Pacific Ocean.

Recovery helicopters bring the three men aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima. As the astronauts receive a heros welcome on deck, Lovells narration describes the events that follow their return from space—including the investigation into the explosion, and the subsequent careers and lives of Haise, Swigert, Mattingly and Kranz—and ends with him wondering when mankind will return to the Moon.

Jeffrey Kluger appears as a television reporter. Pre-production and props While planning the film, director Ron Howard decided that every shot of the film would be original and that no mission footage would be used. The spacecraft interiors were constructed by the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Centers Space Works, who also restored the Apollo 13 Command Module. Two individual Lunar Modules and two Command Modules were constructed for filming. While each was a replica, composed of some of the original Apollo materials, they were built so that different sections were removable, which enabled filming to take place inside the capsules.

Space Works also built modified Command and Lunar Modules for filming inside a Boeing KC-135 reduced gravity aircraft, and the pressure suits worn by the actors, which are exact reproductions of those worn by the Apollo astronauts, right down to the detail of being airtight. When the actors put the suits on with their helmets locked in place, air was pumped into the suits to cool them down and allow them to breathe, exactly as in launch preparations for the real Apollo missions. The real Mission Control Center consisted of two control rooms located on the second and third floors of Building 30 at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. NASA offered the use of the control room for filming but Howard declined, opting instead to make his own replica from scratch. Production designer Michael Corenblith and set decorator Merideth Boswell were in charge of the construction of the Mission Control set at Universal Studios. The set was equipped with giant rear-screen projection capabilities and a complex set of computers with individual video feeds to all the flight controller stations. The actors playing the flight controllers were able to communicate with each other on a private audio loop. The Mission Control room built for the film was on the ground floor.

One NASA employee who was a consultant for the film said that the set was so realistic that he would leave at the end of the day and look for the elevator before remembering he was not in Mission Control. By the time the film was made, the USS Iwo Jima had been scrapped, so her sister ship, the USS New Orleans, was used as the recovery ship instead. Howard anticipated difficulty in portraying weightlessness in a realistic manner. He discussed this with Steven Spielberg, who suggested using a KC-135 airplane, which can be flown in such a way as to create about 23 seconds of weightlessness, a method NASA has always used to train its astronauts for space flight. Howard obtained NASAs permission and assistance in filming in the realistic conditions aboard multiple KC-135 flights. Cast training and filming To prepare for their roles in the film, Hanks, Paxton, and Bacon all attended the U.S. Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. While there, astronauts Jim Lovell and David Scott, commander of Apollo 15, did actual training exercises with the actors inside a simulated Command Module and Lunar Module.

The actors were also taught about each of the 500 buttons, toggles, and switches used to operate the spacecraft. The actors then traveled to Johnson Space Center in Houston where they flew in NASAs KC-135 reduced gravity aircraft to simulate weightlessness in outer space. While in the KC-135, filming took place in bursts of 25 seconds, the length of each period of weightlessness that the plane could produce. The filmmakers eventually flew 612 parabolas which added up to a total of three hours and 54 minutes of weightlessness. Parts of the Command Module, Lunar Module and the tunnel that connected them were built by production designer Michael Corenblith, art directors David J. Bomba and Bruce Alan Miller and their crew to fit inside the KC-135. Filming in such an environment, while never done before for a film, was a tremendous time saver. In the KC-135, the actors moved wherever they wanted, surrounded by floating props; the camera and cameraman were weightless so filming could take place on any axis from which a shot could be set up.

In Los Angeles, Ed Harris and all the actors portraying flight controllers enrolled in a Flight Controller School led by Gerry Griffin, an Apollo 13 flight director, and flight controller Jerry Bostick. The actors studied audiotapes from the mission, reviewed hundreds of pages of NASA transcripts and attended a crash course in physics. Astronaut Dave Scott was impressed with their efforts, stating that each actor was determined to make every scene technically correct, word for word. Soundtrack The score to Apollo 13 was composed and conducted by James Horner. The soundtrack was released in 1995 by MCA Records and has seven tracks of score, eight period songs used in the film, and seven tracks of dialogue by the actors at a running time of nearly seventy-eight minutes. The music also features solos by vocalist Annie Lennox and Tim Morrison on the trumpet. The score was a critical success and garnered Horner an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score. All music composed by James Horner, except where noted. Release The film was released on 30 June 1995 in North America and on 22 September 1995 in the UK.

In September 2002 the film was re-released in IMAX. It was the first film to be digitally remastered using IMAX DMR technology. Box office performance The film was a box office success, gaining $355,237,933 worldwide. The films widest release was 2,347 theaters. The films opening weekend and the following two weeks placed it at #1 with a US gross of $25,353,380, which made up 14.7% of the total US gross. Reception Apollo 13 received very positive reviews from film critics. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that the film has an overall approval rating of 95% based on 84 reviews, with a weighted average score of 8.1/10. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized 0–100 rating to reviews from mainstream critics, calculated an average score of 77 based on 22 reviews.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times praised the film in his review saying: "A powerful story, one of the years best films, told with great clarity and remarkable technical detail, and acted without pumped-up histrionics." Richard Corliss from Time highly praised the film, saying: "From lift-off to splashdown, Apollo 13 gives one hell of a ride." Edward Guthmann of San Francisco Chronicle gave a mixed review and wrote: "I just wish that Apollo 13 worked better as a movie, and that Howards threshold for corn, mush and twinkly sentiment werent so darn wide." Peter Travers from Rolling Stone praised the film and wrote: "Howard lays off the manipulation to tell the true story of the near-fatal 1970 Apollo 13 mission in painstaking and lively detail.

Its easily Howards best film." Movie Room Reviews said "This film is arguably one of the most dramatic and horrendous spaceflight stories ever told." Janet Maslin made the film an NYT Critics Pick, calling it an "absolutely thrilling" film that "unfolds with perfect immediacy, drawing viewers into the nail-biting suspense of a spellbinding true story." According to Maslin, "like Quiz Show, Apollo 13 beautifully evokes recent history in ways that resonate strongly today. Cleverly nostalgic in its visual style (Rita Ryacks costumes are especially right), it harks back to movie making without phony heroics and to the strong spirit of community that enveloped the astronauts and their families. Amazingly, this film manages to seem refreshingly honest while still conforming to the three-act dramatic format of a standard Hollywood hit. It is far and away the best thing Mr.

Howard has done (and Far and Away was one of the other kind)." The academic critic Raymond Malewitz focuses on the DIY aspects of the "mailbox" filtration system to illustrate the emergence of an unlikely hero in late twentieth-century American culture—"the creative, improvisational, but restrained thinker—who replaces the older prodigal cowboy heroes of American mythology and provides the country a better, more frugal example of an appropriate husband." Ron Howard stated that, after the first test preview of the film, one of the comment cards indicated "total disdain"; the audience member had written that it was a "typical Hollywood" ending and that the crew would never have survived. Marilyn Lovell praised Quinlans portrayal of her, stating she felt she could feel what Quinlans character was going through, and remembered how she felt in her mind. Home media A 10th-anniversary DVD of the film was released in 2005; it included both the theatrical version and the IMAX version, along with several extras. The IMAX version has a 1.66:1 aspect ratio.

In 2006, Apollo 13 was released on HD DVD; on 13 April 2010, it was released on Blu-ray disc as the 15th anniversary edition, on the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 13 accident (Central Standard Time).

Al Reinert wrote the screenplay for Apollo 13 and directed For All Mankind. Technical and historical accuracy The film depicts the crew hearing a bang quickly after Swigert followed directions from mission control to stir the oxygen and hydrogen tanks. In reality, the crew heard the bang 93 seconds later. The movie depicts Swigert and Haise arguing about who was at fault. The show The Real Story: Apollo 13 broadcast on the Smithsonian Channel includes Haise stating that no such argument took place and that there was no way anyone could have foreseen that stirring the tank would cause problems.

The dialogue between ground control and the astronauts was taken nearly verbatim from transcripts and recordings, with the exception of one of the taglines of the film, "Houston, we have a problem." (This quote was voted #50 on the list "AFIs 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes".) According to the mission transcript, the actual words uttered by Jack Swigert were "I believe weve had a problem here" (talking over Haise, who had started "Okay, Houston"). Ground control responded by saying "This is Houston, say again please." Jim Lovell then repeated, "Houston, weve had a problem." One other incorrect dialogue is after the re-entry blackout. In the movie, Tom Hanks (as Lovell) says "Hello Houston... this is Odyssey... its good to see you again." In the actual re-entry, the Command Module was finally acquired by a Sikorsky SH-3D Sea King recovery aircraft which then relayed communications to Mission Control. Capcom and fellow astronaut Joe Kerwin (not Mattingly, who serves as Capcom in this scene in the movie) then made a call to the spacecraft "Odyssey, Houston standing by.

Over." Jack Swigert, not Lovell, replied "Okay, Joe," and unlike in the movie, this was well before the parachutes deployed; the celebrations depicted at Mission Control were triggered by visual confirmation of their deployment. The tagline "Failure is not an option", stated in the film by Gene Kranz, also became very popular, but was not taken from the historical transcripts. The following story relates the origin of the phrase, from an e-mail by Apollo 13 Flight Dynamics Officer Jerry Bostick: "As far as the expression Failure is not an option, you are correct that Kranz never used that term. In preparation for the movie, the script writers, Al Reinart and Bill Broyles, came down to Clear Lake to interview me on What are the people in Mission Control really like? One of their questions was Werent there times when everybody, or at least a few people, just panicked? My answer was No, when bad things happened, we just calmly laid out all the options, and failure was not one of them. We never panicked, and we never gave up on finding a solution. I immediately sensed that Bill Broyles wanted to leave and assumed that he was bored with the interview.

Only months later did I learn that when they got in their car to leave, he started screaming, Thats it! Thats the tag line for the whole movie, Failure is not an option. Now we just have to figure out who to have say it. Of course, they gave it to the Kranz character, and the rest is history." A DVD commentary track, recorded by Jim and Marilyn Lovell and included with both DVD versions, mentions several inaccuracies included in the film, all done for reasons of artistic license: In the film, Mattingly plays a key role in solving a power consumption problem that Apollo 13 was faced with as it approached re-entry. Lovell points out in his commentary that Mattingly was a composite of several astronauts and engineers—including Charles Duke (whose rubella led to Mattinglys grounding)—all of whom played a role in solving that problem. When Jack Swigert is getting ready to dock with the LM, a concerned NASA technician says: "If Swigert cant dock this thing, we dont have a mission." Lovell and Haise also seem worried.

In his DVD commentary, the real Jim Lovell says that if Swigert had been unable to dock with the LM, he or Haise could have done it. He also says that Swigert was a well-trained Command Module pilot and that no one was really worried about whether he was up to the job, but he admitted that it made a nice sub-plot for the film. What Lovell and Haise were really worried about was the rendezvous with Swigert as they left the Moon. A scene set the night before the launch, showing the astronauts family members saying their goodbyes while separated by a road, to reduce the possibility of any last-minute transmission of disease, depicted a tradition not begun until the Space Shuttle program. The film depicts Marilyn Lovell dropping her wedding ring down a shower drain. According to Jim Lovell, this did occur, but the drain trap caught the ring and his wife was able to retrieve it.

Lovell has also confirmed that the scene in which his wife had a nightmare about him being "sucked through an open door of a spacecraft into outer space" also occurred, though he believes the nightmare was prompted by her seeing a scene in Marooned, a 1969 film they saw three months before Apollo 13 blasted off. Apollo 13 | Film from RadioTimes Our Score by Adrian Turner In April 1970, astronaut Jim Lovell contacted mission control with the words "Houston, we've had a problem." It was a classic understatement, signalling a huge, complex malfunction to be solved. Lovell and his crew - Jack Swigert and Fred Haise - were bound for the Moon when an oxygen tank exploded in their craft, leaving them potentially stranded in space. It gave Nasa's scientists the most nail-biting countdown of the space age so far and kept Americans - by then blasé about the space programme - glued to their TVs. It is the ultimate rescue story and the movie pays due tribute to the bravery of the astronauts as well as American know-how.

Lovell is played by Tom Hanks, whose very ordinariness - blandness, some would say - is the essence of astronaut-man, while Kevin Bacon and Bill Paxton as Swigert and Haise offer welcome contrasts, as does the superb Ed Harris as the chain-smoking mission controller. Partially filmed in genuine weightless conditions, Ron Howard's movie is a technical tour de force. It's not as good as The Right Stuff, but it's light years ahead of 1969's Marooned, which, prophetically, offered up a similar story as science fiction but was so very, very dull. Summary Fact-based drama about the ill-fated 1970 Apollo 13 mission to the moon. Crew leader Jim Lovell is faced with a nightmare when the mission suffers an on-board explosion - leaving the team stranded in space with a dwindling oxygen supply while flight controllers and engineers in Houston try to find a way to bring the crew safely back to Earth. With Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Ed Harris and Gary Sinise.

 minor problems arise throughout the mission the biggest are the loss of fuel and oxygen During on point in the mission the carbon Dioxide readings were dangerously high and the team at NASA had to design a fitting that allowed a square vent to be placed on a round venting system During reentry the astronauts and team at NASA were unsure of whether or not the heat shield had been damaged during the explosion The whole world watched on television and waited in silence for a sign that Apollo 13 had made it back to earth At first it looked like they didnt make it but eventually Jim Lovell breaks the radio silence to signify that they made it This @Kibin is a lifesaver for my essay right now!!

Drifting more than 200,000 miles from Earth, the astronauts work furiously with the ground crew to avert tragedy. Universal - 1995 APOLLO 13 HOW OTHERS RATED THIS MOVIE OUR TAKE: 9 out of 10 In what was one of the best films of 1995 and one of the better of the 1990's, Apollo 13 is nearly a flawless film.

Filled with emotion, drama and suspense, it harkens back to the days when America was just starting to become cynical, but still had that "can do" attitude. With the crisis that developed, the families, the NASA family, and the nation came together to hope, pray and work together to bring the three men back from outer space. And director Ron Howard captures those emotions and dramatic intensity in this amazing film that's uplifting, suspenseful and just plain fun to watch. But what Howard captures best is the time and feeling when NASA astronauts were living legends and heroes to the public, which is certainly gone in today's world. The only post-release drawback to the film is that Ed Harris didn�t win the Oscar for best supporting actor. He created a character with a positive attitude that was unmatched in intensity. The rest of the performances are outstanding and Hanks finishes off his "acting trifecta" ("Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump" being parts one and two) and proves that he's one of the most versatile actors working today. You'll be hard pressed to find a film that's as good at "Apollo 13" and we give it a big 9 out of 10.

OUR WORD TO PARENTS: While there is a good amount of profanity (the worst being 10+ "s" words), most of it occurs under tense situations and is somewhat to be expected (and certainly could have, and historically may have been worse). The tense scenes might be another concern, especially if younger children are concerned that their parents� work is dangerous and something like this might happen to them. The movie, however, has many positive moments, especially with the families coming together for support and the extended NASA family having the "can do" attitude. While little kids probably won�t want to see this, we say it�s a must see for older children. While there�s not much to object to, we do suggest that you check out the category listings to determine if that�s true for you and your family. People drink champagne at the moon walk party and later Marilyn asks Jim if he's drunk. He says he is and that he's not used to the champagne. She also appears to be somewhat inebriated. Many empty beer cans are seen around Ken as he watches TV.
